Rocha Peixoto Secondary School Prepares for Start of School Year in Atypical Context

Mais Semanário15 September 2026 at 18:47

Rocha Peixoto Secondary School prepares for the start of the new school year in a context marked by delays in the grading of national exams and the reapprciation processes, which prolonged the uncertainty of many students. The school administration acknowledges that the impact was real and that the preceding weeks required case-by-case follow-up to ensure that no decision dependent on final grades would compromise the start of classes.

Luís Fabião, principal of ESRP, emphasizes that the delays created anxiety among students and families, requiring closer and more careful management. The priority is to restore tranquility to the school community and ensure that each student begins the year with clear information and adequate support. The Welcome Plan, already available on the official website, plays a central role in this process.

The entry into force of the new law restricting the use of mobile phones up to the 3rd cycle is another point marking this start. The school views the measure as a pedagogical opportunity to reinforce habits of concentration, interaction, and responsible use of technology, considering that the change could improve in-person interaction and reduce distractions.

In a year that begins under administrative pressure and legislative changes, Rocha Peixoto is betting on proximity and organization to ensure a calm start to the year. The challenge is significant, but the priority remains: to place students at the center and build a serene, safe school environment prepared for the months ahead.

Why this matters

Students and parents in Póvoa de Varzim directly face the consequences of delays in national exams, needing clear information about their academic status to plan the year. The new legislation on mobile phones particularly affects families with children in basic education, changing the rules for technology use at school and requiring adaptation to new habits. The article follows a period of prolonged uncertainty in the national education system and the announcement of restrictive policies on electronic devices in schools.

Son left home and pensioner received order to return 17,701 euros: court reduces debt to 3,144 euros due to Administration's own error

A Spanish pensioner who had been receiving a non-contributory disability pension since 2011 saw herself required to return 17,701 euros after a son left home, which changed the household income threshold. Although the woman only reported the change seven months later, the Extremadura Administration only terminated the pension in June 2022, more than two years after being informed. The Superior Court of Justice of Extremadura considered that the beneficiary should only be responsible for the period prior to the communication, reducing the debt to 3,144 euros. The Supreme Court confirmed the decision in January 2026, rejecting the Administration's appeal on procedural grounds. The case applied the Čakarević doctrine, which weighs whether the return of benefits imposes an excessive burden on the beneficiary. The article also analyzes the existing protection mechanisms in Portugal for similar situations of improper receipt.
